What case to get?

AustinJ

I haven't followed cases too closely over the years and not sure what case to get. I have no care over having a window or lighting. I do like the idea of having a white case, but not a deal breaker.

 

My constraints:

- Must at least fit 2 hdds and 4 ssds

- Fits an atx motherboard

- Room for at least  a 120mm and 240mm radiator

- Fit 250mm length gpu's

- Be under $100

- On an online store that accepts paypal

If it had rgb I'd turn it off probably. Something modernish probably.

@AustinJ The NZXT H500 has 2 mounts for hdds and 2 mounts for ssds. You could probably put the other 2 ssds in the psu shroud and no one would know that they arent mounted unless you take off the back panel https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811146289

That doesn't look a bad case. I guess I didn't think about the psu shroud hiding that kinda of thing. I wait to see if any others have an recommendations. I am not in a big hurry.
